Current is voltage over resistance¶

Current flowing through a conductor is proportional to voltage applied to it and inversely proportional to its resistance. This is also known as the Ohm’s law.

current¶: current flowing through the conductor.

Symbol:: I
Latex:: \(I\)
Dimension:: current

voltage¶: voltage applied to the conductor.

Symbol:: V
Latex:: \(V\)
Dimension:: voltage

resistance¶: electrical_resistance of the conductor.

law¶

I = V / R

Latex:: \[I = \frac{V}{R}\]
